Heretic

Fantasy setting

Heretic is a classic first-person shooter that takes the Doom engine into a dark fantasy world. Instead of guns you wield wands, crossbows and magical artifacts against undead and demons while hunting keys and exploring maze-like levels.

Hexen II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A dark fantasy first-person shooter built on the Quake engine, with four character classes, light RPG leveling and hub-based worlds full of puzzles, keys and backtracking.

Arthurian Legends

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You fight through hordes of Saxons, demons and undead from a first-person view in a grim, legend-soaked Albion. It leans on punchy hack-and-slash action rather than deep systems.

Hexen: Beyond Heretic

Fantasy setting

A dark fantasy first-person shooter where you pick a fighter, mage or cleric, each with a unique arsenal, and fight through interconnected hub worlds. Switch puzzles and backtracking matter as much as the combat.

Blade

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A linear PlayStation action game serving as a prequel to the Blade film, where you hunt vampires with sword, guns and throwing weapons. It captures the movie's vibe but was received poorly for its camera, controls and technical quality.

Dread Templar

Fantasy setting

A fast, old-school 90s-style FPS where a vengeful templar mows down hordes of hellish enemies, using combinable weapon upgrades and skills to become the scariest thing in hell.

Hands of Necromancy

Fantasy setting

A retro first-person shooter in the vein of Heretic, built on GZDoom, mixing metroidvania-style exploration with dark fantasy. As a necromancer you use special transformations and their abilities to open new paths.

Hedon Bloodrite

Fantasy setting

A retro-style first-person shooter in the spirit of the 90s, with brutal combat, key hunting and puzzles across sprawling levels. Its dark crystal-filled fantasy world recalls dungeon crawlers and classics like Heretic.
